My guess:

Mel's offered the Tech job. Armed with leverage Mel runs back to An Arbor. Red lays down his retirement blueprint and Michigan's AD promises Mel the gig.

Tech: You just got Served.

Only if Red takes over the football program, drives the whole Michigan AD towards financial ruin, and then decides to go back to being the head hockey coach after Mel misses the NCAAs one year.

Then it would be Conan O'Brian all over again.

Lets get Eades signed up before the UMD opens up and he gets interested in that one instead...

Go walk into Suzanne's office and ask what's going on.

I don't blame Suzanne or the Athletic Department for this mess. They haven't done anything official, so technically none of this confusion was supposed to exist, we're all supposed to still be speculating on who might be a candidate, not disappointed because something hit a snag.

thats why I said "ask whats going on" not "ask why the **** Mel isn't our coach yet." I don't blame her for anything, I don't really blame anyone for any of this...rumors are what they are...just frustrating to have what appeared to be good sources on all of this and now...who knows.

Of course no one to blame that's why it's kept quiet and a good AD does not put up artificial goals that can become barriers. The only goal is to get the best candidate and if Mel chose not because of family or a clause to allow him to go to UM later then he was not a good candidate. Reading the Wolverine blog, seems Mel may not be the next inline anyway.

Do you consider the "good source" still good just that there was more info involved they did not know about?
 
Re: Mel Pearson-Michigan Tech's new Coach

Wait, Bruce McLeod hasn't been announced as the head coach after Mel said no?

Well, since this seems to be going about as well as Michigan State's coaches search...might as well start the rumors now...if it ain't Mel, it must be....




ECAC Commissioner and MTU Alum, Stephen Hagwell...

Hagwell went to a WCHA school? That explains a lot. :mad:

Maybe MTU will have to wait till Penn State hires there coaches (coach and assistants)? It might take MTU two months like it did when they hired Jamie Russell.

My sources, which are infallible, have Ron Fogarty (Adrian) on route to Houghton tonight. He got the word this afternoon after Pearson turned Tech down.
